Issue/Introduction

You are trying to upgrade DLP version to 15.8.

Following the Symantec_DLP_15.8_Upgrade_Guide_Lin.pdf doc, you execute the command "./install.sh -t enforce" from directory /opt/temp/, but it failed with these messages:

error: Failed dependencies:
        libgsf-1.so.114()(64bit) is needed by symantec-dlp-15-8-00000-server-platform-common-15.8.00000-19012.x86_64

On further investigation, you see these librairies are installed on this server :

/usr/lib/libgsf-1.so.114
/usr/lib/libgstapp-1.0.so.0

and so on...

Here is also the content of the directory /opt/temp :

You are wondering why the installation/upgrade is failing.

Cause

At a minimum, please ensure you have the 64 bit versions of the following libraries installed...

Enforce needs:

• libgsf 
• gstreamer1-plugins-base
• libsecret

 

Detection Server needs:

• at-spi2-atk
• pciutils-libs
• libatomic
• libXScrnSaver
• libgsf
• gstreamer1-plugins-base
• libsecret

 

Sample command:

yum install compat-openldap compat-db libpng compat-libtiff3 gtk+-devel gtk2-devel gstreamer1 libstdc++.so.5 libX11 libXext libXi libXrender libXtst wget unzip libgsf gstreamer1-plugins-base libsecret

Resolution

On Linux platform it is possible that the 32 bit version of the libraries have been installed but our application specifically requires the installation of 64 bit libraries as noted above. If you are seeing the above dependencies errors and believe the libraries are installed already - please ensure that the x64 libraries have been installed.
